We meet monthly to learn about things related to software development. Meetings happen monthly on the second Tuesday of every month from 16:30-17:30 at Microsoft Bryanston, Gauteng.While we currently meet at Microsoft - that doesn't mean we restrict ourselves to just one technology stack - we find all platforms and technologies interesting. Monthly topics have a wide range from software development methodologies to patterns and best practices for various language paradigms.

James Crowley http://www.developerfusion.com/usergroup/91642/android-developer-workshop/ 2010-11-07T12:37:00.00Z

The focus of the group is still being defined. There are multiple "Android Developers" meetups, but we wanted to do something to support devs working on real apps.A suggestion was posted in another android meetup about a meetup for testing on different devices. The proliferation of Android devices is great for the platform, but a real problem for developers. One part of this meetup would be getting together and trying out developer apps on different devices.
